REVIEWS Flid Show brought to life by talented acting

BY REBECCA WURST STAFF WRITER

The C.D. Smith Theater opened its doors Wednesday for the four-show performance of The Flid Show, directed by AU alumna Eliza Beckwith, who has been visiting Alfred from New York City this semester. Senior theatre major Shaminda Amarakoon, played the role of Duncan Mowbray, a 38-year-old man born without arms as a result of the drug thalidomide, taken in the early ’60s to induce sleep. His mother had taken the drug, not knowing the dramatic side effects. In The Flid Show, the audience is taken through the past and present life of Duncan in an almost Christmas Carol-like way. Frances Kelsey, played by freshman Hailley Field, does an excellent job as Duncan’s guide through his past, to learn the truth about what happened. Duncan is shown his parents before and during the pregnancy. Junior theater major Vanessa Stipkovits plays Michele Mowbray, Duncan’s perfectionist mother, and senior theatre major Andrew Shaw plays Duncan’s alcoholic father, Gordon.
